Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is a holistic healing treatment that uses natural plant extracts (essential oils) to promote health and wellbeing. Essential oils are extracted from flowers, leaves, bark, roots, and resins, and are used via inhalation, topical application, or diffusion.

Aromatherapy has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems worldwide and has gained recognition in modern integrative healthcare, particularly in palliative care, maternity services, and mental health settings.

Aromatherapy reduces stress, anxiety, and depression, improves sleep quality, relieves headaches and migraines, enhances mood and emotional wellbeing, reduces nausea, supports skin health, eases muscle tension and pain, and boosts immune function. It is widely used to enhance the therapeutic environment in hospitals and care settings.
